addressing back in his presidency, preoccupied as he was with the war on terror and the mission in iraq and afghanistan. there was still a lot to do to satisfy the procurements needs of the services. there were other needs, too, but that was obama's initial plan in 2009. by the way, brahney's plan today looks a lot like obama's plan of 2009. the differences here between these two gentlemen are important, but not necessarily earth shattering or tectonics in their significance. you could imagine this in obama in 2009 versus obama in 2012 in terms of the range of the debate over our budget. in the next couple of years after obama began with the plan, we have the ongoing deficit problem, and then the tea party revolution of 2010. there was a focus on the need to make structural changes in the size of the budget deficit. all of the think tanks have been arguing for a broadbased deficit-reduction. the pentagon began to get into the spirit. bob gates, when he was secretary, started to do this without any kind of a broader framework. and then the budget control act of 2011 produced all of the b

president had wanted to portray toughness in regard to al qaeda, an ending to the wars in afghanistan and iraq, and also his repivoting or rebalancing towards asia. that was the narrative he preferred. when you get through that basic set of accomplishments and then you have to ask the question are we better off than we were four years ago, and we see embassies being attacked around the world, it's hard to say yes. so whether it's president obama's fault at all or not -- and i don't really think it is, it does change the narrative. it can't be good for the president. and obviously it's tragic. you tell from yesterday's ceremony how much people admired this ambassador and the other state department employees who were killed. how sad of a day this is for the country. i don't think it was anything good for the president. >> good to talk to both of you. thanks very much. >>> let's get a check of the rest of the morning's top stories. veronica de la cruz is at the news desk. >> good morning, kate and lester. good morning, everyone. the heightened sense of danger for americans abroad, a rash of bomb
